NLSLA’s Fred Nakamura on KCRW: Tenants Facing Eviction in Their 80s and 90s

Redevelopment is pushing seniors across Los Angeles out of their affordable units as landlords look to attract younger, wealthier tenants in gentrifying areas. That’s left many seniors facing eviction in their 80s and 90s.

NLSLA’s Fred Nakamura has been working to defend these elderly tenants from eviction in places like Chinatown and Lincoln heights, where affordable housing is now hard to come by and seniors are losing the homes they have occupied for decades.
